Il was a remarkable funeral pro-
cession that moved the other day
with the body of the dead editor
Katkof to his tomb in Moscow. The
devotion to him was such that during
the whole march, over a distance of
90 miles, the bier was not once laid
on a carriage, but was borne by relays
Of relatives, students, journalists,
mechanics, tradesmen and peasants.
His hold upon the people was extra
ordinary, and his death was felt to be
a public affection.

The General Business Situation.

The New York Herald prints a page OF
interviews with the leading firms in the
different branches of trade in this city.
They show that there has been a gradual
but steady increase since the first Of the
year over the business Of the past few
years. The dry goods men express them
self as being well satiGfied with the business
done. Collections are reported good. "A
healthy and steady market seems to
have been a universal expression.
Bradstreet's says that special kilograms
indicate that the general rains which have
been reported west and northwest since
Aug, I3 have favored the cereal crops.
The outlook for the wheat crop is no bet.
ter than last reported, but special in
quiTies in the spring wheat region point to
the probability that much OF the loss from
chinch bugs and drouth in southern Mime
srta will be offset by increased acreage
and larger yield at the north. The south
including the Gulf states. with a moderate
exception in Texas, is feeling the effects OF
excellent crop prospects, particularly cot.
ton and sugar. In the Central Missouri
river valley centeTing about Kansas City
and Omaha, and at the Northwest, tribu-
tary to Minneapolis, St. Paul aud Chicago,
the interior demand is good, and the pros
poets for fall trade bright. The movement
OF staple groceries, hardware aud dry
goods, in those regions is quite active and
is in excess OF a few weeks and one year

The Verdict in the ChatswOrth Disaster.

The jury made out separate verdicts for
each OF the victims. Mrs. DR.. Ducketts is
the first name on the list. The following
IL the verdict OF the jury on her death.
We find that the wrecking OF the said
train, which totally demolished eight
coaches, one baggage car and one engine,
and either killed or wounded most OF Ehe
occupants Of said coathes, was caused by
said bridge having been burned out be-
lore the train struck it. We think
from the evidence that the bridge was fired
from fires left burning, which had been set
as late as 5 o'clock that afternoon by the
section men, as close as sixteen feet on
both the cas- and west sides OF the track.
We further find that the foreman Of section
IS, Timothy Coughlin, disobeyed positive
orders from the superintendent, the last
thing on Wednesday, and we find that he
did not go over the west two and one.half
miles at all on Wednesday, as instructed,
and that said foreman vas guilty OF gross
and criminal carelessness in leaving fires
burning along the track In such a dry sea-
son with such n strong wind blowing.
We recommend that he be held
for examinations by the. grand jury; and,
further, it is the opinion of the jury that
the leaving OF the track without being pa
troled for six hours before the passage OF
the excursion train and the setting OF fires
by the section men on such a dry and
windy day wore acts which deserve severe
criticism.
C~oughlin was promptly arrested and
will be taken to Pontiac, the county seat
OF Livingston county. He says he cannot
give bail. and will have to go to Jail. He
insists that the verdict was unjust, that
he vent over his entire section as ordered.
and that no fires were built as lei the
bridge as Heali'and Taggert testified.

The Irish Land League Proclaimed.

Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, an
nounced in the house OF on the
18th that the government had proclaimed
the Irish National league. He said the
league was proclaimed as q dangerous as.
ISOLATION under section 6 OF the crime act
amendment bill. The government had
thus taken the power conferred upon them
by that statute to prohibit and suppress
the league. Continuing. Baliour said:
There are twosnbheads of the sixth sec
ton Of the act mentioned in the proClama.
ton which declares as follows: ''Whereas,
we are satisfied that there exists in Ireland
as association known as the Irish Nation
al League, which in parts OF Ireland pro-
notes and incites acts Of violence and in.
timidation-"
A voice-It's a lie. No branch OF the
league is engaged in such work.
Section asked whether the sole ground
for the proclamation was that the league
was simply an association tending to in.
~teriere with the law. Balfour in reply
read the terms OF the proclamation.
Replying further to Mr.. Sexton Mr..
Baldwin said hat until the viceroy issued
an order regarding a particular district

Mr.. Parnell in an interview said: The ac-
ton OF the government in proclaiming the
league was a gratutious insult to the Irish,
considering the present condition OF
Ireland. 1t was merely a nov to cover
the weakness OF the land bill. II the bill
did not protect tenants from eviction
trouble would be inevitable during the
coming winter.
The announcement Of the proclamation
was received quietly in Ireland. A riot
occurred at Kenmore, County Kerry, Ire
land. The mob attacked and stoned the
barracks where the police were quartered.
The police charged with drawn swords up
on the rioters, i~njuring many OF them and
arresting a number.

Interesting Features of Paymaster Basins Rob,
berry.


Omaha, Special: The arrest OF Charles
Parker, the cowboy and highwayman who
last spring robbed Paymaster Bash of$S,-
600 at Antelope Springs, Wye, has devel.
oped very sensational features. Parker
was arrested in Logan county, Neb. After
robbing Bash he located III Logan COUNTY
and went into businesses with the stolen
money. He built IA rude store fifty miles
northwest OF Candy. and purchased a
lot OF horses and cattle. His money being
all new bills he was 500 suspected. Dep
uty Sheriff Carter, with a strong posse,
undertook to arrest him on D warrant
charging the robbery OF Paymaster Bash.
Parker fired several shots and stood Off
the posse, alter which they LETT him alone.
He was closely watched, however. A few
days ago three men named BagnalL
Lucas and Johnson went to Parker'5
store, and getting the drop
on him while he was eating his supper ar
rested him. They claimed to be United
States deputy marshals, but in fact they
were frauds. Taking Parker into the
hills, they robbed him Of $2,100 and
a horse. Then they let him go. The
horse, however, belonged toanother party,
who caused the arrest OF Bagnalt, Lucas
and johnson, at Plum Creek. On Wednes-
day the 18th these men secured their release
through the aid OF lawyers, who got most
OF their money as r fee. Parker, who had
followed the three men rs for as Candy,
was arrested there by Sheriff Doane after
a despesate fight. Parker drew a revolver
and knife, but was tightly held by Doane
Parker then got one OF Doaue's fingers in
his mouth and held it there, and severely
stabbed him in the other arm. A crowd
disarmed Parker, who still held on to
Doane's finger and would not let go until

A SHELTER IN SAN ANTONIO.

Can be Had If the Citizens Have Enter
prise Enough to Get 1t.
Enterprising meDhave long regretted
the fact that the smelter was lost to the
city by the apathy Of the citizens, and
this is equally regretted by many inter-
ested in mining on the other side of the
Rio Grande, who believe that San Anto-
Mo is the proper point for such opera
lions. Ii was, however, thought that
the opportunity that San Antonio then
lost. had gone forever, but fortune
seems TO smile upon San Antonio even
though 1t continually brings good to
her that are suicIdically rejected. AS
recorded in yesterdays LIGHT, COM
pany has been organized, backed
by million dollars capital, for
mining operations in LlanO cOun-
ty, that Is richer in minerals
than any other spot in the state, and
where wealth has entOmbed waiting the
miners enterprise. One of the main
needs OF this enterprise is a smelter. and
there is little question that ere long San
Antonio will again have the chance Of
accepting or rejecting that valuable adj
iunct TO the community. Independent
of this there are other reasons why
the smelter must be established. In
other parts of Texas valuable mineral
deposits are being discovered, and wise
men will soon go to work developing
mines and making rich harvest. Min
ing operations are being extended in
Mexico and the need of proper
| smelling without sending to ST.
Louis or Kansas City, is badly felt.
Then again there are millions of tons Of
half smelted ore that could and would
be prOtitably brought here II only the
smelter were erected.
Capitalists interested in the Llano
company are talking business privately
to some OF our business men, and there
seems to be good reasons for suppOsing
that some good will come of the negO
tiAtiOns.
san Antonio needs the smelter and
what is more needs 1t badly. When we
consider that it means an exalted COM
mercial state, the drawing of mining in
terests 10 the city, employment for our
unemployed, money made and circulated
here, ii is difficult to understand how
business men can stand aloof of an en-
terprise that must directly, or Indirect
ly, enrich them, and add to the city's
greatness.
